Without mosquitoes many birds and bats (also both great pollinators) would die out :(

Bees and butterflies don’t pollinate all by themselves, FYI. Things that bite/sting also do a lot of pollination work! Flies, wasps, etc

Yes, very true! I almost added that when writing my comment, but didn’t want to blather on too long in a comment about a meme haha

I mean, the ability to run long distances without tiring is kind of what makes humans an apex predator. We can out-endurance just about every other creature. Most ancient human hunting techniques involved just wounding an animal, and then literally chasing it until it got too tired to keep going.

Wolves are very similar, which is what made us such natural hunting companions. The co-evolution of humans and dogs is an extremely interesting rabbit hole, if anyone is looking for one.

All that to say, the wolf would understand the need to run more than just about any other animal. A bear would work better here. A wolf would just see us running and think ‘game recognizes game’, just like they already did eons ago :3

That made me chuckle, thanks for posting it. Kinda reminds me of a joke-phrase in American English that goes “If a frog had wings it wouldn’t bump its ass when it hopped.”

How do you mean? Dinosaurs? They were warmblooded, so no, not just lizards. Usually in the rock around the fossilized bones are imprints of other features of the animal, like skin texture or the presence of feathers.

We can also tell a lot from the points where muscles attach to the bones.

That’s not even accounting for the behavior we can interpret based on fossilized footprints! We’re actually learning that T-Rex were pretty good parents for instance.

It’s a very complex field, and it’s amazing how much we can learn from so few clues.

Right, and that’s why most people would believe this meme and take it as 100% truthful. The meme doesn’t specify that that’s the way we USED to do it, it says that’s how it would be done

So tired of this meme, especially in a science themed sub. It’s just wrong and thusly promotes disinformation because it takes seconds to read a meme like this and move on without question. Meanwhile it takes (comparitavely) ages to actually research how fossils are reconstructed. If people even think to research it in the first place, because, hey, it’s in a science-based sub, right??

Remember kids, the best memes are those based on truth 😎

I heard a good one-liner once about him: Henry Cavill is what happens when you give a neckbeard three wishes.

(Except that’s not how paleo art works anymore)

I know it’s a meme, but when this is posted without clarification, it spreads to people who think it’s real and they regurgitate it as fact

Didn’t the original GTA/RDR writers leave after finishing RDR2 anyway? Another worry I have is that this game will have none of the story/writing that made the previous games great, and is just a Rock star cash grab because they own the IP.

And they’d be right

Just one spherical poo? Lucky

Aphid squirt. They’re making the aphids squirt in their mouths, eating it, and throwing it up in each other’s mouths. It’s like if a whole society thought two girls one cup was just what you do.

Y’all are all sleeping on Sarazanmai. Weird, but lives rent free in my head

I WOULD OFTEN GO THERE

TO THE TINY CHURCH THERE

Stop, he’s already dead 😭

Okay, I’ll try it like this. The next thing I was going to try was sticking them in a box, individually packed in newspaper. I think straw is what was used in ye olden times, but newspaper would be easier to source these days

Mine are stored in their bag, too, but seem to go mushy after two weeks, so I have been looking for other solutions. Is there anything in particular you’re doing when storing them in their bag?

Under that age, too… Just turned 30 this year, still working my way around to doing research to find a provider to diagnose me. Which, with the nature of the condition that could take… a while, ha.
